Solution

The correct option is D Statement I is false, but statement II is true.
Mean years of schooling represents the average number of years spent by an adult in school till the age of twenty-five and not thirty. Hence, statement I is incorrect. However, it is true that in 2015, the UNDP set up the highest number of years as 13.3 years and the lowest at zero years. Hence, statement II is correct.
